Could that be? It was in the tab's along the top. Thankyou for this post. I am still breastfeeding a partially weaned toddler. I love it and I hate it. I love the closeness in bed in the mornings, I hate the kamikaze acrobatic mauling that it sometime is in the mid afternoon. But I'm reluctant to wean him as we tubefed for a month with him in NICU and then it took a good 12 weeks to get up to speed after that. After such a long haul and rough start telling him 'no' is just too hard, and somehow not right.

I can relate to what you said about feeding Jack - Olivia is so interested in watching her sister during the day and we are so busy, the feeds are rushed and awkward whereas our evening feeds are so close and wonderful, just the two of us. I too feel grateful to be able to produce lots of milk. I love breastfeeding. xBean's Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240368212675147039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-19946842146834634212013-09-03T21:17:01.177+10:002013-09-03T21:17:01.177+10:00A bit late reading this am I, but I loved it Ally!...A bit late reading this am I, but I loved it Ally! I can absolutely relate to your story about Jack - I am feeding Olivia still 2-3 times a night and even though I'm exhausted I love these feeds because they're just for us. The day ones are always rushed and she is too interested in watching her sister. I too feel grateful to be able produce heaps of milk and feed my babies - so special. xBean's Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240368212675147039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-72608825947619595592013-08-12T00:23:23.175+10:002013-08-12T00:23:23.175+10:00Oh dear, i'm not really an unknown!

All my babies weaned themselves, the first at 14 months, the second at 22 months and my last at 3 years.

It all just got too hard and my babies were losing not gaining weight. So I decided to bottle feed. Even though my boys are both teenagers now I still look back on that time with regret.Angels have Red Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483975077509536637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-87367955167864617582013-08-09T20:04:59.235+10:002013-08-09T20:04:59.235+10:00It's a beautiful bond isn't it. xIt's a beautiful bond isn't it. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651116248452404269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-13641413469809777052013-08-09T19:50:08.849+10:002013-08-09T19:50:08.849+10:00Such a beautiful story.
